Does Mach-E have drive modes?
The Mustang Mach-E does indeed offer multiple drive modes through Ford’s Active Drive Modes system, designed to tailor throttle response, regenerative braking, steering feel, and cabin comfort. Exact names and availability vary by model year and trim.
Drive modes let drivers adapt the vehicle’s character to conditions and preferences—ranging from a quiet, comfort-oriented ride to a more aggressive, performance-focused feel. Access to these modes is typically via a drive-mode selector on the center console or steering wheel and is reflected in the vehicle’s traction, power delivery, and energy recovery tuning.
What modes does the Mach-E offer?
Here is a snapshot of the modes commonly found in many Mach-E configurations and what they aim to do in everyday use.
- Whisper — prioritizes comfort and quietness, with a smoother throttle response and gentler steering to maximize ride calm and reduce cabin noise.
- Engage — a balanced setting that blends everyday practicality with responsive performance, adjusting throttle and regenerative braking for a capable, all-around drive.
- Unbridled (some trims use Untamed or similar branding) — a sport-oriented mode that sharpens throttle response and steering, delivering more immediate performance for spirited driving. GT variants emphasize this mode more prominently.
Note: The exact names and availability of these modes can differ by model year and trim. Some markets or updates may label the modes differently, and Ford sometimes nuances the tuning for GT versus non-GT versions.
Summary
The Mach-E’s drive modes provide a spectrum from comfort to performance. By selecting Whisper, Engage, or Unbridled (or Untamed on certain trims), drivers can influence throttle mapping, regenerative braking, and steering feel to suit their drive. For the most accurate, year-specific details, consult your owner's manual or the in-vehicle settings for your exact model and trim.
